    Exactly. The TS only wants to focus on that one (admittedly very big) win, while totally discounting Rahman's considerable number of losses. How most people rate Rahman is proportional to what he did in his career imo. If Rahman was so good around the time he won against Lewis (let's say this was Rahman's prime), how come he went on to lose to a past it Holyfield and Ruiz, just after losing to Lewis?

    i agree with your post, but not the part about lewis turning up in africa a few weeks before the fight.

    he turned up in africa a WEEK before the fight.

    He got his ass knocked out the ring, man. But hey, so did SRR, Joe Louis, and Jack Dempsey, right?

    Dempsay got destroyed in 1 looked awful against human punching bag Willard.

    He could not KO a guy despite being able to hit him when he was on one knee.

    Dempsey looked awful against Willard??? is this what you are saying????

    It was one of the worst beating in boxing history, it made Dempsey a legend.

    You are very insulting. Calling someone an idiot is rude.

    Thus, you fail.

    Dempsey's lack of power was exposed.

    Anyone can fight like an "animal" when they can hit an opponent when he is on one knee.

    People cry when today's fighters have a drink or two or a small amount of cocaine, yet Willard boasted about drinking before the fight.

    mkay, tyson based his whole boxing career and what he inspired to be over dempsey, and much of that over the fight with williard, so no, you FAIL, of epic proportions

    Actually, most people who know Tyson say that he is very intelligent and well read, including Ferdie Pacheco.
